Patterson out with broken leg

WACO — The biggest news out of the Texas A&M locker room is that sophomore defensive lineman Lucas Patterson has a fractured left leg.

Aggies coach Mike Sherman said Patterson should be good to go in about 6-8 weeks — meaning his injury is season-ending. A&M, no longer eligible for a bowl at 4-7, wraps up its regular season on Thanksgiving night at rival Texas on Nov. 27.

Sherman and the players appeared more distraught about this one than they did the 66-28 loss to Oklahoma the week before at Kyle Field. Probably because OU is perhaps the best team in the country, while Baylor is … Baylor — the program the Aggies had defeated in 20 of their 22 previous meetings.

“Today was very disappointing,” Sherman said.

Of the Aggies’ five turnovers — including four interceptions by quarterback Jerrod Johnson (he also fumbled) — Sherman took the blame.
